These cookies have been a success here for years. They are the tastiest cookies ever, you will not find a better recipe. Moreover, they are also very easy to make. The only downside is that the dough is at least as tasty as the cookies. Therefore, assume that half disappears into nothing...
These hearts are of the short bread type; firm but also brittle and crumbly. The base can of course be used for other occasions, but on Valentine's Day we turn it into sweet hearts. You can find the recipe and the (very extensive) how-to here on this very sweet baking blog called Sugary Winzy . Below our variant with love for you.
This is what our cookies usually look like.
